Systematic Thinking in the Face of a Pandemic
With nowhere to go and nowhere to be, we should have more time now than ever before. However, for many of us, our time at home seems constricted as we adjust to a virtual workplace while caring for ourselves and family members with less resources and new challenges.
For many, the struggle is real as they learn to navigate unemployment, forced business closures, loss of income, illness, and death. In a matter of days, business owners have struggled to cope with learning that their business is not essential.
Then there are those who don’t have the luxury of being at home, who are working overtime to provide the public with their essential and basic needs or risking their lives to save the lives of others while offering the ultimate gift of more time.
We're all faced with the same unanswerable questions... How long will this last? When will this end? How will we survive if this lasts longer?
We're here to help you focus your time during this moment of uncertainty. We're aware that COVID-19 is at the front and center of your thoughts, but how can you think more systematically?
Here are few questions you should be asking yourself to ensure that your internal and external communications strategy is thoughtful, creative, and worth the attention.
